Stress in Cats

Cats can get stressed for a million different reasons...most of the time, we humans can't even figure out their trigger!

The most common causes of cat stress are:

Overcrowding in multi-cat households

Moving into a new house

Travel

New family member (human or animal)

Moved furniture

Parties/visitors

Confinement

Cat Shows

Medical conditions/injury

New cat in the neighbourhood

Really… any kind of Change

Whatever the case may be, most times they try and tell us in unfortunate ways. Sometimes, they can start to spray; other times they may become agitated and/or aggressive. There are many symptoms they can exhibit.

There are also many possible solutions to help soothe your feline friend, from personal attention time, products, diets or a combination of these. So if your cat is displaying changes in their behavior, give us a call and we can discuss what the right approach might be for them.
